When you walk across the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan, you have two primary options, one is to venture on Old Fulton Street towards the waterfront or take the second option to Cadman Park Plaza. The latter attraction was named after Rev. Samuel Parkes Cadman, a congregational minister and founder of the Federated Council of Churches in America. The green space is the unofficial border between the quaint neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights and downtown Brooklyn and it's always filled with locals who run, walk their dogs or just lounge under the canopy of trees. Additionally, Cadman Plaza Park features a granite and limestone memorial that is dedicated to the more than 300,000 men and women from the borough who served in WWII.
